2017 ITTY BITTY OPEN: Youngsters Introduced to the Greatest Game

The Junior Golf Association of Arizona (JGAA) hosted the 2017 Itty Bitty Open on January 14, 2017, at 14 Valley-wide locations open to all youngsters’ ages 3-5 years old.

The event had free clinics where juniors and their parents learned the basics skills of golf taught by exceptional PGA and LPGA professionals. After the clinics, the kids then participated in fun-filled, non-competitive golf games and tournaments. All winners received a congratulatory letter, a trophy, and two tickets for the R.S. Hoyt, Jr. Dream Day Activities at the 2017 Waste Management Phoenix Open presented by Ak-Chin Indian Community (children admission is free, so the tickets are for parents or other adults).

“The Itty Bitty Open was a great success,” said Scott McNevin, Executive Director of the JGAA. “We love seeing all the children come out and have a great time. It’s an honor to help begin their journey to play golf which will last them a lifetime.”
